There is so much to love about this book. I read it twice, back to back. It's probably one of the more concept-dense books you'll read from the period, but unlike lots of scifi lit stross wrote a very solid story that's worth reading in it's own right.

Another good book by Stross that doesn't get much love is Saturn's Children. it has the same inventivness and story-telling prowess. the most outrageous elements of the story are the very glue that make the whole thing more tractable.

How did you like the sequel?
Neptune's Brood is really good. It's set in the same universe as Saturn's Children but without the Heinlein-tribute sexpot focus. It takes a lot of concepts from "Debt: The First 5000 Years" and extrapolates them to the next 5000 years.
I lovved Neptune’s Brood. I’ve listened to it in audiobook form probably 10x
I havent managed to get my hands on the sequel =(
